Describe the simple functions of the basic parts of the human digestive system: mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
What mastery looks like
- Name the main organs in order: mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine

- Draw or label a simple diagram of the digestive system
Check your understanding
Can The Digestive System trace the journey of a sandwich through the body — from chewing in the mouth all the way to the intestines?
